Out actor Jussie Smollett told
followers on Twitter that he's ready to fight back following Donald
Trump's victory against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“I feel the same way yall,”
Smollett said in a tweet with an embedded video. “Can't be moping
around tho. Pick yourselves up people. #Unite.”
In the one-minute video, Smollett said
that he was “pissed off” but will “continue to fight.”
“I'm pissed off, really kind of
down,” Smollett
said. “But we gotta give ourselves 24 hours then we gotta pick
our asses up and continue to fight.”
“Every single person of color, every
woman, every single member of the LGBT community, every single
disabled person or immigrant or senior citizen, if we were all to
join together we would create a majority that would be unstoppable.
So that's what we're gonna do.”
“I ain't going nowhere. Most of you
all ain't going nowhere. I'm not about to leave my house just
because it still be dirty. It ain't never been clean – ever.
Let's join together. Let's step up. Let's protect each other and
make sure that we clean up this filthy mess,” Smollett added.
“We got this. Take it back,” he
concluded.
